How to tell the most recent cvs version?

I would like to know the latest cvs tag name of my project,

Is "tag" the same thing with "version"? If yes, how can I know which is the most recent tag in my project?

I do the following to check out the latest version of my project:

cvs co -d new_version my_project

So, which tag does above check out?

Tag isn't the same than version, and you cannot determine the creation date of a tag, as mentioned in "How to get a list of tags created in CVS repository?".
That answer gives a script to approximate the date of the tag.

And you can list all the tags, as mentioned in "List all tags within a module in CVS in CLI".

Combining the two, you should be able to determine the most recent tags, compared to the one you just checked out.
